Why You’ll Love These Stuffed Mushrooms
This stuffed mushrooms recipe is one of my favorite party appetizers, especially for the holidays. Instead of making a typical cream cheese filling, I stuff the tender mushroom caps with a crispy, garlicky breadcrumb mixture. Sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese make it rich and savory, pine nuts add crunch, and parsley adds freshness. Grab two while you’re at the snack table—these bite-sized apps disappear fast.
Another reason to love these stuffed mushrooms is their ease of preparation! They come together with just 10 simple ingredients in about 15 minutes of hands-on prep. If you’re looking for a quick, crowd-pleasing appetizer for your next party, I hope you’ll try them. They’re guaranteed to be a hit!

How to Make Stuffed Mushrooms
I love how simple this stuffed mushrooms recipe is! Here’s how it goes:
- Prep the mushrooms: Wipe them clean with a damp paper towel, then remove the stems. Place the mushroom caps cavity-side-up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Make the filling: Stir together grated cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, breadcrumbs, garlic, pine nuts, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Stuff the mushrooms: Spoon the filling into the mushroom cavities, piling it high.
- Bake: Drizzle the stuffed mushrooms with oil and bake for 20 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly, season to taste, and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Bigger mushrooms = more filling: Use the largest cremini mushrooms available to hold more of the filling.
- Clean mushrooms properly: Use a damp paper towel instead of rinsing with water to avoid sogginess.
- Finely chop filling ingredients: This ensures an even blend of flavors in each bite.
- Season before filling: Drizzle the caps with olive oil and sprinkle with salt prior to stuffing for added flavor.
How to Store Stuffed Mushrooms
Stuffed mushrooms are best when freshly made, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a microwave or a 350°F oven.
